A Mapleview man with a history of multiple deportations to Mexico was arrested in Rochester Wednesday after he allegedly threatened a local resident with a handgun.

Roman Ernesto Luna, known also as “Michael Anthony Ortiz,” “Netto,” and “Raffa,” has been charged with single felony counts of felon in possession of a firearm, second-degree assault and aggravated forgery after he was taken into custody by police following search warrants at his Mapleview home and several vehicles.

According to the criminal complaint, Luna, 34, entered an Austin residence around 6 a.m. Wednesday following the arrest of his brother, Pablo Margarito Luna, on drug charges.

The complaint said Luna was upset about the arrest and blamed the victim, who told police that the defendant pointed a gun at him and said he should shoot him, though didn’t because the victim and his brother were close.

After a conversation, Luna allegedly told the victim that he was going to talk to his brother and advised him to keep his “mouth shut” in the meantime.

The defendant left in a jeep that would later be searched as part of a warrant by police that included Luna’s Clinton Street home in Mapleview and several vehicles associated with the drug investigation.

No one was present when authorities executed the search warrant around 9 a.m. in Mapleview, though they allegedly found documents under the names “Ortiz,” “Sara Mata,” “Juan Luna,” “Santos Omar Luna-Almaraz,” and “Omar E. Luna.”

Police believe that a woman and toddler also live Luna’s address. The complaint the documents were likely used to gain employment at Austin-based Quality Pork Processors.

Members of the Southeast Minnesota Narcotics Task Force and Bureau of Criminal Apprehension arrested Luna at his brother’s Rochester home, and allegedly recovered a handgun — an Enfield .38-caliber revolver — in the jeep.

According to the complaint, Luna has been deported to Mexico multiple times, and has a criminal conviction from Freeborn County.
